MikroTik KNOT Embedded LTE4 Global – Industrial IoT Gateway for Automation & Remote Monitoring

MikroTik KNOT Embedded LTE4 Global is a compact industrial IoT gateway designed for automation and monitoring in environments where space is constrained but connection reliability is critical. It is deployed in IoT installations, smart city infrastructure, utility monitoring, and vehicle tracking — wherever LTE, Bluetooth, and GNSS connectivity are required from a single device. The ideal solution for system integrators and infrastructure operators looking for an industrial LTE gateway with low power consumption and full remote management.

KNOT Embedded LTE4 Global is built around the EG25-G Category 4 modem, delivering up to 150 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload with DL 2×2 MIMO and automatic fallback to 3G and 2G for continuous connectivity in any coverage area. Integrated Bluetooth 5.1 Long Range enables telemetry collection from MikroTik tags and BLE sensors, transmitting data securely over LTE. Multi-constellation GNSS — GPS, Galileo, Glonass, BDS, QZSS — provides precise positioning for tracking and monitoring applications. The GPIO header with 24V-tolerant pins simplifies direct connection of industrial sensors and local automation, all within a 90×70×22 mm footprint.

The device runs RouterOS v7 (License Level 3) on an ARM 800 MHz processor with 256 MB RAM, providing VPN, firewall, SMS control, and complete remote management with no recurring licensing costs. Nano SIM and eSIM slots allow data plan activation directly from the MikroTik account — no physical SIM, no operator contracts required. Power input via PoE-in 802.3af/at (12–57 V) or USB Type-C at a maximum draw of 6W simplifies installation in locations without dedicated power outlets. DIN rail or wall mounting and an operating range from -40°C to +70°C ensure reliability in demanding industrial conditions.

Recommended for retail kiosks and payment terminals requiring reliable LTE and GNSS positioning, IoT gateways collecting data from BLE sensors, smart city infrastructure, and utility monitoring deployments. Also suited as LTE backup for existing Ethernet equipment, for vehicle and fleet tracking systems, and for vending machines and unattended equipment where remote management is essential.
